Earlier this week, the Vanguard Newspapers held a forum with some distinguished guests to discuss the issue of the falling value of the Naira. Experts in attendance included: former Minister of Finance, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu; Director, Lagos Business School, Professor Pat Utomi who moderated the event; former Economic Planning Minister, Senator Sanusi Daggash; Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, Chairman, NICON Group; NACCIMA President, Mr. Simeon Okolo; Mr. Opeyemi Agbaje of the Lagos Business School and Vanguard columnists, Les Leba and Dr. Dele Sobowale, among others.
In my opinion, Dr Idika Kalu hit the nail on the head – the main problem is the fact that NIgeria is too dependent on the banking industry which makes up over 50% of the stock exchange and is currently the major employer of labor outside of the government. What we need is a strong manufacturing economy.
And I very very much disagree with Jimoh Ibrahim who is suggesting that the CBN prints more Naira. That is a bunch of bull. It is nonsense. Printing more Naira will increase the risk of inflation and will sink the country into a recession. It can also result in the downgrading of our credit ratings which will affect the flow of foreign investments.
